Wrong. Seafarer’s doesn’t have a Recovery Permit........
The disturbance of the seabed is very limited with an Exploration Permit, which is what they have for the 2 sites. Bringing up an artifact for diagnostic purposes only requires permission from the state.
When they were allowed to bring up wood samples for Dr. Alden, they admitted the samples were too small.
Everyone should read the permits. They discuss in great detail what is allowed.
